Aspyr has announced the release of Civilization V Gold Edition, a new release of the civilization-building strategy game for the Mac. It’s available for download from Steam, GameAgent.com and other download services for $50.

Civilization V Gold Edition is a compendium that collects all previously-released Civilization V content into one package, so if you’ve been holding off on buying the game because of all the different add-on packs, now may be the time. More specifically, the new collection includes:

Civilization V base game

Civilization Pack – Babylon

Double Civilization and Scenario Pack – Spain and Inca

Civilization and Scenario Pack – Polynesia

Civilization and Scenario Pack – Denmark & The Vikings

Civilization and Scenario Pack – Korea

Cradle of Civilization Map Pack – The Americas

Cradle of Civilization Map Pack – Asia

Cradle of Civilization Map Pack – The Mediterranean

Cradle of Civilization Map Pack – Mesopotamia

Explorer’s Map Pack

Scenario Pack – Wonders of the Ancient World

Civilization V: Gods and Kings expansion pack

Aspyr notes that the Gold Edition isn’t available through the Mac App Store, but to level the playing field, they’ve temporarily dropped the price of Civilization V: Campaign Edition and its add-in content – all the same stuff you’ll find in the Gold Edition – to be equal.

This is a great deal at $50. Have loved the franchise since Sid Meier’s first version. Never gets old, always something new to try or approach the game from strategically.

Very happy to see that for $20 you can upgrade a regular Civilization V purchase to the Gold Edition. Buy it on Steam and you get both Mac and PC versions for the same price. Mac App Store of course only gets you the Mac version.
